A Word from the Section Chair
This meeting is a continuation of our effort to offer excellent quality section meetings that advance the state of our industry and entertain. This month's meeting is directed to members of the film community but should prove interesting to anyone with an abiding interest in cinema cameras and the development of wide-screen technology. I hope you will make an extra effort to attend this meeting and bring a guest who you think will benefit from membership in the society.
